Provision of HR & Payroll Software

This tender clearly describes the required service but suffers from significant deficiencies in legal compliance, clarity, completeness, and fairness due to missing critical information such as mandatory exclusion grounds and, most notably, evaluation criteria. The highly specific CIPP accreditation requirement for the supplier and the lack of e-submission further detract from its quality.

Legal compliance is significantly weak due to the absence of mandatory exclusion grounds, which are fundamental legal requirements, and the missing tender reveal date.

The clarity of the tender is severely compromised by the complete absence of evaluation criteria, leaving bidders unaware of how their proposals will be judged.

The tender is incomplete regarding several crucial pieces of information, including the liable person, procedure codes, mandatory exclusion grounds, and evaluation criteria.

Fairness is low due to the lack of evaluation criteria, the highly specific CIPP accreditation requirement for the supplier which may unduly restrict competition, and the absence of an e-submission option.

Practicality is limited by the lack of e-submission support, which is a significant drawback for bidders in 2026. While documents are available, a direct URL is not provided in the summary.

Data consistency is compromised by a discrepancy in the estimated value between the basic information (900,000 EUR) and Document 1 (£750,000), alongside minor missing fields.

Sustainability aspects are entirely absent, with no mention of green procurement, social criteria, or innovation focus within the tender information.
